حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ نُمَيْرٍ (٤) ، حَدَّثَنَا عُبَادَةُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ، حَدَّثَنِي يُونُسُ بْنُ خَبَّابٍ (٥) ، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ أَبِي الْبَخْتَرِيِّ الطَّائِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي كَبْشَةَ الْأَنْمَارِيِّ (٦) ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: " ثَلَاثٌ أُقْسِمُ عَلَيْهِنَّ، وَأُحَدِّثُكُمْ حَدِيثًا فَاحْفَظُوهُ "، قَالَ: " فَأَمَّا الثَّلَاثُ الَّتِي أُقْسِمُ عَلَيْهِنَّ: فَإِنَّهُ مَا نَقَّصَ مَالَ عَبْدٍ صَدَقَةٌ (٧) ،ولا، ، وَلَا ظُلِمَ عَبْدٌ بِمَظْلَمَةٍ فَيَصْبِرُ عَلَيْهَا إِلَّا زَادَهُ اللهُ بِهَا عِزًّا، وَلَا يَفْتَحُ عَبْدٌ بَابَ مَسْأَلَةٍ إِلَّا فَتَحَ اللهُ لَهُ بَابَ فَقْرٍ، وَأَمَّا الَّذِي أُحَدِّثُكُمْ حَدِيثًا فَاحْفَظُوهُ "، فَإِنَّهُ قَالَ: " إِنَّمَا الدُّنْيَا لِأَرْبَعَةِ نَفَرٍ (١) : عَبْدٌ رَزَقَهُ اللهُ مَالًا وَعِلْمًا، فَهُوَ يَتَّقِي فِيهِ رَبَّهُ، وَيَصِلُ فِيهِ رَحِمَهُ، وَيَعْلَمُ لِلَّهِ فِيهِ حَقَّهُ "، قَالَ: " فَهَذَا بِأَفْضَلِ الْمَنَازِلِ " قَالَ: " وَعَبْدٌ رَزَقَهُ اللهُ عِلْمًا وَلَمْ يَرْزُقْهُ مَالًا؟ " قَالَ: " فَهُوَ يَقُولُ: لَوْ كَانَ لِي مَالٌ عَمِلْتُ بِعَمَلِ فُلَانٍ " قَالَ: " فَأَجْرُهُمَا سَوَاءٌ "، قَالَ: " وَعَبْدٌ رَزَقَهُ اللهُ مَالًا وَلَمْ يَرْزُقْهُ عِلْمًا، فَهُوَ يَخْبِطُ فِي مَالِهِ بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ، لَا يَتَّقِي فِيهِ رَبَّهُ، وَلَا يَصِلُ فِيهِ رَحِمَهُ، وَلَا يَعْلَمُ لِلَّهِ فِيهِ حَقَّهُ، فَهَذَا بِأَخْبَثِ الْمَنَازِلِ " قَالَ: " وَعَبْدٌ لَمْ يَرْزُقْهُ اللهُ مَالًا، وَلَا عِلْمًا فَهُوَ يَقُولُ: لَوْ كَانَ لِي مَالٌ لَعَمِلْتُ (٢) بِعَمَلِ فُلَانٍ، قَالَ: هِيَ نِيَّتُهُ، فَوِزْرُهُمَا فِيهِ سَوَاءٌ " (٣)، ،

Translation

English translation

It is narrated from Abu Kabsha Anmari (may Allah be pleased with him) that I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) say: There are three things upon which I can swear, and there is one hadith which I will relate to you, so remember it. The three things upon which I swear are: charity does not decrease a person's wealth; whoever is wronged and bears it with patience, Allah increases him in honor; and whoever opens the door of begging for himself, Allah opens the door of poverty for him. And the hadith which I relate to you is this: The world is for four types of people. One is the person whom Allah has granted wealth and knowledge, and he acts upon his knowledge regarding his wealth and spends it in its rightful places; his rank is the highest. The second is the person whom Allah has granted knowledge but not wealth, and he says, "If I had wealth, I would act as that person does with his knowledge." These two are equal in reward. The third is the person whom Allah has granted wealth but not knowledge, and he spends it recklessly in wrongful places, does not fear his Lord, does not maintain family ties, and does not recognize Allah's right; his rank is the worst. And the fourth is the person whom Allah has granted neither wealth nor knowledge, and he says, "If I had wealth like that person, I would spend it in the same way as he does." These two are equal in sin.
